Arch as a virtualbox guest

i have vbox running on vista, and arch as a guest.
it works fine and dandy, fast and everything.
now...how do i install the additions so i can get the mouse and shared folders working?
thanks.

AFAIK the packages in community only seem to be for running arch as the host, rather than as the guest.  the guest additions is only the ISO, rather than the modules i need to load.
i tried the /etc/slackware-version, but nothing gets put in rc.d or anything

  • Arch as a VirtualBox guest: what specific Guest Additions to use?

    I have installed Arch on VirtualBox PUEL 3.2.10 r66523.
    I have tried to follow this wiki page. But the links to the new version(s) of guestadditions do not work any more. Plus, that particular version does not seem to be any newer than the current vanilla one that comes with the latest VirtualBox (am I wrong?).
    So, I'm using the regular guestadditions and they do not provide the promised functionality.
    Could you give me a hint in the right direction?
    Thanks for reading this.

    My last post above was a mistake.
    After rebooting (for another reason) both my virtual machine (Arch) and my host (Slackware), all the features from the additions run flawlessly.
    I must have done something else (like disabling the GuestAdditions CD on the guest maybe?) because simple rebooting of the guest did not finalize the install of the additions. I also ran the installation scripts individually, according to the latest version of the manual (apparently it was not required on previous versions).
    In any case, for the ones reading this thread, at this point GUESTADDITIONS FOR ARCH AS A GUEST DO WORK.
    My apologies for my previous post above.

    Can you edit your post and put the content between "code /code" tags (square brackets around both)
    It would make it a lot more readable.

  • Setting fixed size screen resolution in Arch VirtualBox guests...

    Hello everyone.,
    I've installed an Arch Linux 64-bit guest os in Windows 7 64-bit host. And i've also installed guest additions succesfully.
    Now I need to restrict X to 720x1280 (720p) screen size for screen capturing.
    I've already tried few methods for resizing it:
    1) Tried disabling AutoResize in VirtualBox.
    2) Tried to hint the display size in global settings (VirtualBox => File => Preferences => Display), but when I enter X it fits automatically the whole window again.
    3) Tried to write a configuration file in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf" (as explained in Xorg wiki page), but it still doesn't work. I couldn't find my monitor Identifier name, tried several ("VBox0", "Screen0", etc...)
    4) Tried to generate single Xorg conf file ("sudo Xorg -configure"), but it terminates with error: "Missing output drivers. Configuration Failed".
    And also i've googled anything related to fixed size screen WITH guest additions (which I still need for shared folders), seems nobody actually asked for it.
    Any help will be appriciated, thanks.,

    What is native resolution? 1080?
    Do you need a window with guest os smaller than host video?
    Did you try to set resolution on X guest and enabling autoscaled feature in VirtualBox?

  • [SOLVED] no sound in Arch virtualbox guest

    I had no sound in an Arch virtualbox guest.  The fix (original link below) was to use the alsa97 option in virtualbox settings and then to add
    options snd-intel8x0 ac97_clock=48000
    to
    /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
    Here is the link to where I read about this fix: http://www.withoutthesarcasm.com/fixing … irtualbox/

    I mucked around with alsa mixer and muted a channel and now I have sound.  However, when I run:
    speaker-test -c 6
    the app cycles through my speakers, however sound comes out of all the speakers at once for the individual channels front left and front right.  I do not get any sound out of either of the rears or the center.  I double checked alsa mixer and all the volumes are turned up.
    Is there a way I can get arch to send sound to the correct speakers?

  • No 3D acceleration with Arch + virtualbox-guest-modules 4.3.24-1

    I've been using Arch happily in 64 bit VirtualBox setup for a few months (under 64bit Win7), but after installing cool-retro-term, realized I have no 3D acceleration. glxinfo shows I'm using unaccelerated Gallium instead of Chromium:
    OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.5, 128 bits)
    I've googled about 100 different bug reports and solution suggestions, but to no avail. Virtualbox forums say that a similar bug was fixed last June, and after that the glxinfo should give a dozen warnings about being unable to load stuff, but report the Chromium drivers. I have the latest version of virtualbox-guest-modules (4.3.24-1) which should contain the fix, but that doesn't help.
    I installed Debian today to test things out, and indeed, I had 3D acceleration out of the box. This was likely because the initial install was Debian stable, and the latest Mesa versions (around early 2014) initially broke the 3D acceleration, so probably Mesa was too stable... Upgrading to Debian Jessie broke the 3D acceleration to same state as my Arch install (Gallium renderer instead of Chromium), which seems to support this hypothesis. HOWEVER, re-compiling the latest guest additions seemed to have the effect the Virtualbox forums suggested there should be -- 3D support was restored, and Chromium once again the renderer in glxinfo.
    Has someone successfully gotten Arch under Virtualbox working with 3D acceleration without downgrading Mesa libraries? The Cinnamon desktop nags me about not having HW acceleration, and cool-retro-term uses 100 % CPU due to software rendering, so I'd rather have acceleration than not.

    I have the same problem (with standard 3.19.2-1 kernel, vbox 4.3.26).
    I tried grabbing an older mesa and mesa-libgl from the arch rollback machine (which worked the last time it stopped working) but version 10.4.6 just crashed my machine when gnome was starting. I'm guessing there are more packages required for that approach to work but i don't know what they are. A complete rollback would be clean but would probably be more annoying lol.

  • Route Arch host traffic through VirtualBox guest

    I was successful doing this under Windows 7. I would much rather have this running under linux so that I could learn more. I am a linux noob so I am still taking this all in (migrating from Xubuntu).
    So far I have installed a bridge. I have found a helpful wiki entry https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … Networking
    but it makes references to rc.config which seems to be gone do to the implementation of systemd. That is where I hit a wall. I am not familiar with systemd.
    Thanks for any help you can give me (i've done my googling)
    Richard Freeman

    Okay, so you want a pfsense VirtualBox guest to be your gateway/firewall for the Arch linux Host.
    What I would do is this...
    NOTE: Arch dev's and forums people now think that the tools in the inetutils package (ifconfig, route and stuff) are out of date. So, someone will for sure come in and tell you how to do this with the iproute2 commands....
    pacman -S bridge-utils uml_utilities inetutils
    tunctl -g users
    brctl addbr br0
    ifconfig br0 192.168.30.2 up
    ifconfig eth0 up
    brctl addif br0 tap0
    route add default gw 192.168.30.1 dev br0
    # Owe, and set the DNS server to be sure
    echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' > /etc/resolv.conf
    Then in the VirtualBox GUI, give the VM 2 network interfaces. One being the physical ethernet interface eth0, and another being the virtual tap0 interface.
    Now in the pfsense Guest. Make the Ethernet interface be the WAN and the tap0 interface be the LAN. Configure the tap0 interface with a Static IP address of 192.168.30.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 i.e. /24

  • Installation of Arch (64) in VirtualBox, issues with Xorg

    Hi friends,
    I want to install Arch (64) in VirtualBox, recent versions both.
    I did the main installation procedure.
    But now I want to install X.
    I did "pacman -S xorg", and "Xorg -configure", and copied the newly created xorg-file to /etc/X11. It correctly recognizes "vboxvideo" as the video driver.
    Now the problem is this: the first time I do "xinit", it works, but after exiting, and commanding "xinit" again, I get a blank screen and a freeze.
    After exiting X the first time, it tells me about problems with DRI and DRM.
    (Sorry I can't insert the files here at the moment, because I don't have the Guest Additions installed yet.)
    Hope to hear from you,
    Daniel

    Can you please post the error messages it gives you?

  • Black screen on starting X in Virtualbox guest

    Hi Arch Linux,
    I am running Arch linux as a Virtualbox 4.2.6 guest with a Windows 7 host. I have virtualbox-guest-utils 4.2.6-1 installed.
    When I run "startx" or "xinit" my screen goes black and freezes up. The VM seems totally unresponsive, I can't even switch to other virtual consoles with ctrl+alt+f2,f3 etc. I have to reset or use the ACPI shutdown command from the virtualbox menu. Even the ACPI shutdown seems to be a hard shutdown, as if the kernel or systemd has stopped responding (the VM closes with no messages in well less than a second). Sometimes after this power cycle, I get spammed by a repeating message from systemd when I boot that says it failed to start the journal service, though this may be unrelated. Here is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log if it helps: http://codepad.org/Ry1ixshS
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    In the Beginners' Guide, right after Testing X, there's a Troubleshooting section, and it says there to look out for lines that start with (EE) or (WW).

  • VirtualBox Guest Tools

    Hey All!
    Finally decided to give Arch a drive and love it so far.
    I've set myself up in a VirtualBox VM with the Host OS being Ubuntu 7.10.
    Did a basic install and then installed xorg, openssh and xfce4.  Nothing fancy.
    My problem is that when I go to install the VirtualBox Guest Tools it fails to compile.  I'm sure I'm missing a package somewhere but not sure which.  I installed the kernel-headers pack this morning but it made no difference and the install still fails.

  • Installing virtualbox guest additions - No X-11

    OK, so I took the plunge (again) and [re]started with Arch.
    I have it right now as a virtualbox guest, but the screen is the size of a key hole.
    I followed the steps on the wiki here and I encountered a curve ball when it came to setting the values in ~/.xinitrc.
    The file is now there.  I had to manually create it as I do not have (or want) any non-terminal applications on this VM.
    However, when I run " ps ax | grep -i vbox ", the services VBoxClient --display | seamless | draganddrop are not running until I manually start VBoxClient-all.  VBoxService -f is running, seemingly without any issues.
    How can I fix this so that /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all (the same line now in the .xinitrc) would run at boot?
    TIA

  • Installing virtualbox-guest-modules = depmod error

    I'm setting up a new system, and I tried following the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … nux_guests.
    Using "sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-utils" gives me an error message:
    depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/3.9.4-1-ARCH: No such file or directory
    depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory"
    I see I do have a 3.9.5-1-ARCH directory, though.
    I assume something somewhere needs to be updated.  Is there anything I can do until that happens?

    I think I have a similar problem
    Im using Arch as the host and trying to use other OSs as guests in virtualbox.
    But when I try to use virtualbox and push start (on XP) it say:
    "The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded
    or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please
    reinstall the kernel module by executing
    'pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules'
    as root. If you don't use our stock kernel, install
    virtualbox-host-source and execute dkms autoinstall."
    when I execute: # pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules it say:
    (1/1) reinstalling virtualbox-host-modules
    depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/3.9.4-1-ARCH: No such file or directory
    depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory
    In order to use the new version, reload all virtualbox modules manually.
    I tryied to execute "depmod 3.9.5-1-ARCH" but in my case it didnt help,
    I also running on 3.9.5-1-ARCH.
    So basicly there is nothing to do now, but waiting for bug to be fixed?

  • No network connection or virtualbox guest additions after upgrade

    I followed the instructions carefully, from the homepage, when carrying out the latest upgrade. Unfortunately, virtualbox guest additions is no longer working and nor can I get a network connection. To clarify, arch is running inside a virtual machine.
    I'm not sure where to start looking to be honest and would appreciate some pointers about to get me on the way towards solving this problem.
    EDIT: The virtualbox problem is related to error in the package
    Thanks

    for the guest additions, it's a bug in the package, look here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164924
    For the network, you'll have to tell us how you were setting up the network before that isn't working now.

  • Graphics performance issues as virtualbox guest

    Hi everyone,
    I've been running arch natively on my 2013 macbook pro retina for a while but recently decided to run it in virtualbox hosted in OSX. I've got arch installed and am running gnome shell in the virtual machine, the problem I'm having is that the graphics performance is terrible, windows judder and lag when moving them around the desktop and scrolling is extremely jerky. Things i have done:
    - I have installed the guest additions and made sure the guest modules are loaded.
    - I have checked the 'enable 3D acceleration' box in virtualbox settings
    - I have also checked that DRI is enabled using glxinfo.
    One possible complication is that i am running virtualbox beta 5 but I have also tried with the stable edition and experienced the same issues.
    I have no idea how to diagnose this and don't even know if acceptable performance is possible with this set up so any help is very welcome.
    Thanks
    Alex

    Does your glxinfo show "Gallium" or "Chromium" as the renderer (not related to the browser)?  If it shows Gallium, 3D acceleration is not working.
    You mention running Gnome; If you're using GDM as your desktop manager, that's likely to be your issue.  Gnome itself is fine, but GDM 3.16 breaks 3d acceleration in virtualbox guests. There's a bug open on the Gnome Bugzilla about it: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749390
    Try switching to LightDM; that fixes it for me.  If that solves your problem you might want to add to the bug report.

  • PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 OVM in a single VirtualBox guest machine

    Following a suggestion from Jim Marion in an earlier post in this forum, I started installing the PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 OVM using a single VirtualBox guest. The PeopleSoft OVM appliances are delivered as two separate virtual machines, one for the DB and another for the PIA/App-Batch. Since I am running on a 4 GB RAM laptop I wanted to conserve memory by installing on a single virtual machine.
    As I was starting to figure out the changes needed in the configuration scripts, for example creating a symbolic link instead of an nfs mount for PS_APP_HOME, I got a surprise. Lo and behold, the good folks at Oracle had already thought of this! In the oraclevm-template.sh there is an environment variable VBOX_SETUP that is set if the script detects the existance of both PS_DB_HOME and PS_HOME. This triggers the installation of all the tiers -- DB, App-Batch, PIA -- on a single machine. With a few tweaks I was able to get a fully functioning HCM environment with a single execution of the setup script.
    The starting point for installing PeopleSoft OVMs on VirtualBox is these two blog posts:
    [url http://jjmpsj.blogspot.com/2012/05/converting-peoplesoft-ovm-templates-to.html]
    [url http://jjmpsj.blogspot.com/2012/06/converting-peopletools-ovm-template-to.html]
    Since I was only using a single virtual guest I mounted all the file systems at once. Here are the entries (excluding the System images which are only mounted temporarily as explained in Jim's blog posts):
    in VirtualBox:
    SATA Port 1: Oracle11gR2.vdi (Normal, 4.41 GB)
    SATA Port 2: HCMDB.vdi (Normal, 26.38 GB)
    SATA Port 3: Tools.vdi (Normal, 11.25 GB)
    in /etc/fstab:
    /dev/sdb1               /u01                    ext3    defaults        1 3
    /dev/sdc1               /opt/oracle/psft/ptdb   ext3    defaults        1 4
    /dev/sdd1               /opt/oracle/psft/pt     ext3    defaults        1 5I commented out the ovm_set_password and ovm_configure_network steps in /u01/scripts/db-reconfig.sh since I had manually set up a static IP on my guest. (Note: this script no longer bothers checking for or setting up oracleasm so you don't need to worry about that). I also uncommented the DEBUG_PSFT_OVM variable in the /opt/oracle/psft/vm/oraclevm-template-utils.sh script. Doing this bypasses the root password reset and networking configuration in the oraclevm-template.sh script.
    I modified the .bash_profile script for psadm1, psadm2 and psadm3 to use the ORACLE_SID that the setup script discovered based on the contents of $PSFT_DB_HOME/oradata and added $PS_HOME/setup to the PATH for COBOL compiles:
    # psft env vars
    export PS_APP_HOME=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools
    export PS_CFG_HOME=/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52
    export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/oracle-client
    export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.x
    export ORACLE_SID=HR91C323
    export TUXDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/bea/tuxedo
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TUXDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
    . /opt/oracle/psft/pt/tools/psconfig.sh
    export PATH=$TUXDIR/bin:$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PS_HOME/setup
    export LANG=C
    export COBDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/svrexp-51_wp4-64bit
    export PATH=$PATH:$COBDIR/bin
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$COBDIR/lib(Just a note on the beauty of VirtualBox: I didn't figure out all the above in a single step. But by taking some snapshots of my virtual machine I was able to go back and start over with a minimum of fuss.)
    I still had a few errors after I got a clean run of /opt/oracle/psft/vm/oraclevm-template.sh:
    <li>The app engine VERSION program failed because it didn't pick up the PS_SERVER_CFG variable. The variable is set in the script so I'm still trying to figure out what happened.
    <li>The ovm_dbusers.sql failed on a couple of statements with insufficient privileges. It is run as SYSADM and may need to be run as sysdba.
    <li>The ovm_ib.sql script had a unique constraint error on an insert into psibsvcsetup. Since the row already exists this should probably be an update.
    These were minor issues that were easily resolved after the instance was up.
    I have started making changes to further reduce the footprint of the VM: lower weblogic min/max heap size to 128m, don't start PSAESRV in the batch server, don't start Analytic and Query servers in the app server, lower the sga_target and pga_aggregate_target in the db server, etc.
    These PeopleSoft OVM templates are a fantastic way to get started with an up-to-date, well configured PeopleSoft application.

    Hi,
    To keep all my peoplesoft servers on a virtual environnement i will use Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 for x86_64 (64 bit) with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2 template and install on it the peoplesoft CRM. it's a good idea ? Yes, why not.
    But you could also want to minimize the number of virtual machines running in your env by adding the CRM database into the existing Peoplesoft OVM database server, check if there is enough space to host this CRM db in addition of the running HR db, if not you could increase the space or add a new disk.
    and which files from http://edelivery.oracle.com i should use to install peoplesoft CRM database ?
    You'll only need to download PeopleSoft Enterprise Customer Relationship Management 9.1 application, part number V17881-01 from "PeopleSoft Enterprise - Customer Relationship Management 9.1 Media Pack".
    sorry for those question i'm still beginner in peoplesoft.No problem, Peoplesoft is not so easy software anyway.
    HTH,
    Nicolas.
